Damage mechanisms of bisphenols on the quality of mammalian oocytes.

The extensive use of bisphenols in the plastics industry globally is a major growing concern for human health. Bisphenol compounds are easily leached out from plastic containers to food, beverages, and drinking water and contaminate the natural environment. Daily exposure of bisphenol compounds increases their load and impairs various organs, including the reproductive system.

Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D-MOFs) as a carrier for enzyme immobilization: A review on design and bio-applications.

In the realm of carriers for enzyme immobilization, the use of MOFs has accelerated owing to their exceptional porosity and stability. Among these, 2D metal-organic frameworks (2D-MOFs) have emerged as promising supports for enzyme immobilization. This review highlights advancements in their synthesis, structural properties, and functional characteristics, focusing on enhancing catalytic performance and stability.

Spin Polarization and Phase Transformation-Aided Efficient Overall Water Splitting Using NiMnGaCu Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Heusler Alloy.

We demonstrate experimentally that the combination of half-metallic property and shape memory features of the NiMnGaCu (NMGC) alloy can synergistically catalyze both the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions, leading to excellent water splitting. NMGC, a copper-doped nickel-based ferromagnetic shape memory alloy, undergoes first-order martensite to austenite phase transition with temperature variations. The martensite phase of NMGC demonstrates remarkable efficiency for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Navigating healthcare leadership: Theories, challenges, and practical insights for the future.

Effective healthcare leadership is essential to ensure high-quality patient care and foster a supportive work environment for healthcare professionals. This review aims to consolidate existing healthcare leadership literature to provide evidence-based insights that can guide leadership development, improve team performance, and enhance patient care outcomes. A systematic search of academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and Google Scholar was performed using keywords related to healthcare leadership.
